NEWSTED, ANSELMO: Help Kickstarter Campaign

This is really cool!

Ex-Metallica bassist Jason Newsted, former Pantera singer Phil Anselmoand ex-White Zombie bassist Sean Iseult appear in a trailer for a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to complete a documentary about a former music executive. The film would tell the story of Michael Alago, a gay A&R man who once signed Metallica, White Zombie, Newsted's pre-Metallica band Flotsam and Jetsam and many others to label deals.
Director Drew Stone calls it "a unique American story about a self-made man." The film will attempt to tackle how Alago succeeded professionally as a gay man in a metal music sub-culture known for its perceived homophobia, and how sobriety re-focused his creative vision and drove his successful re-invention as an artist himself. Alago is currently a visual artist, poet and published photographer.
The campaign, which just got underway, will last for 30 days.
